My husband says the sports federation elections are like our apartment association meetings — everyone promises to fix the leaking pipes, but the real fight is over who gets the parking spot. I think of my daughter’s hostel fees, and how a bad referee decision in a kabaddi match can lose a girl from a village her scholarship, same as a delayed cheque from a sponsor. In Hyderabad, we have a saying: “Jab tak choolhe mein aag hai, tab tak khana pakta hai” — as long as the fire is lit, the food cooks. But when the stove itself is rusted, no amount of flipping the switch helps.
